Ten Essential Skills in Outdoor Preparedness

Your journey into the deep Delta landscape begins here. We will meet at the Watson trailhead and caravan a short distance in your vehicle to the Yancopin Trailhead. Then we will discover how to prepare for a hike and useful skills when on a trail. After lunch, you will be able to test your newly acquired skills on a 3-mile guided hike with a park interpreter to the magnificent Yancopin Bridge crossing the Arkansas River. Along the way, we will hike on an easy gravel surface trail through deep Delta forests leading to the bridge. Our journey will continue over the refurbished bridge. This event is ideal for families and organized youth groups.

Registration is required by calling the park (870) 572-2352 by February 20th.

Dress to be outdoors and have footwear you are comfortable hiking in. Bring sunscreen, insect repellent, drinking water and a sack lunch.
